A straightforward screenshot is sufficient to send Reddit fans into a whirlwind of excitement. Because it looks fantastic!
It’s a dilemma we all face as gamers: you set a game aside, leave it untouched for years, and when you finally restart it, you’re completely lost. “What is this? That wasn’t here before!” and “How does this function again?” are just a couple of queries that race through your mind in that instant.
A Minecraft enthusiast found himself in this predicament. His answer: “I’ll ask Reddit.” Without hesitation, he snapped a screenshot of his situation and reached out to the community.
But he certainly didn’t foresee this response.
## “Run and duck!”
Reddit user Force_Mobster2321 hadn’t played Minecraft for seven years. Therefore, it’s no surprise that upon returning to the pixelated realm, many things had changed from his memories.
This includes not just new biomes and gameplay elements, but also new foes that don’t have his best interests in mind. The user is confronting one of these adversaries at the precise moment he captures the screenshot. His inquiry: “Who is that?”
The guidance on what to do next is remarkably straightforward:
– “That’s death. I advise you to crouch and turn around. RUN WHILE CROUCHING.”
– “Run!”
– “If he’s already after you, you’re toast.”
**Why is that?** It’s quite easy: the NPC looming in the dense fog is a guard. He is the **most formidable enemy in the entire game**. He possesses the most health and inflicts the highest damage. At least he’s blind, so alert players can slip past him before he senses and chases them through vibrations and sounds.
### This is the most cinematic screenshot I’ve ever seen
The remark in the subheading originates from Reddit user Hunterrcrafter and has received widespread acclaim. The image of the returning Minecraft player is simply stunning.
The dark hues, the thick mist, the looming guardian – the screenshot radiates sheer atmosphere! The conversation in the Reddit thread swiftly shifts from the danger posed by the guardian to how to conceal the UI and thus create a new wallpaper.
Spoiler: The community succeeded! If you desire the image without the UI, just scroll down a bit further in the comments section of the thread.
Perhaps there’s a strong incentive for you to launch Minecraft again after a lengthy absence. For instance, the significant graphics upgrade was recently unveiled, which revitalizes the aging building game visually. And, of course, a plethora of new content has been introduced over the past years.
Now you know: the community will support you. Unless it concerns a warden.
